This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You are unable to re-add existing users as translators in WPML after an update, and you are concerned about losing translations when updating translated job pages.
Solution:
To resolve the issue of re-adding existing users as translators, you need to edit the
wp_capabilities
key in the
wp_usermeta
table. Remove the "translate" value for the affected users. This adjustment will allow you to add them back as translators. After making this change, please ensure to add the correct language pairs for each translator as needed.
If you are unsure what to do, don't proceed with the above.
